Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone’s business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been emailing, will be compromised.
With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he’s pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he’s never met
Right now my thoughts about Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens
Agenda are along the lines of thisbookthisbookthisbook, it was when I finished it, and it still is now, because
THISBOOKTHISBOOKTHISBOOK. I know what you're thinking, how do I explain things
so well? *cough* It's a gift.*cough* ;) It's
just so freaking adorable and funny and cute, and so much more than just
freaking adorable and funny and cute, and again, I know, I explain things so
well. So I'll put it this way, Simon Vs
the Homo Sapiens Agenda shows how far society has evolved regarding anything
LGBTQ, and how everything diverse has changed in YA, but also how it hasn't
changed for anyone LGBTQ.
